Build Logs

its been awhile but i finally got my system pretty much done. still got sum stuff to do much nothing major. Im running 2 8" L7's dual 2ohm wired in 4ohm powered by 2 kicker zx450.2 amps in bridged mode. The box is 2.20 cu. ft with a L shaped port tuned to 34hz. These little 8's are sick. i had just the one 8" L7 and amp for awhile. Plus this is my first fiberglass project and i gotta say it turned out great. theres 9 layers inside and out (18 all together). need to prep for paint next but im not in a hurry just yet. so once i get the new sub broken in im gonna make a vid. so let me kno what you guys think.

well, my subaru kicked the bucket and i went and bought a 2003 Ford Explorer with 61,000 miles on it this past sunday. Which means i get to un-install all the stuff from my subaru and re-install everything back into the explorer. This is what i have done so far... -headunit -2 amps -second batt -and of course subs and box and my dumbass forgot to take a lot of pictures., i dont know what it is but once i get to working i just forget completely about pis. i think the only 2 pics i got is when i had the dash out for the head unit and when mounting the fuse under the hood. but this is what i got still gotta mount the bass knob somewhere still gotta buy a new toggl…

A friend of mine from work listened to my setup about two weeks ago, he said he wanted better sound in his car but couldn't spend much, I asked his budget and he gave me ~$300 as a limit, so I told him I'd get something for him. I worked on a design, and approached him with a 12" SSA DCON S4, a Rockford Fosgate 200.2, and an enclosure 2.25 cubes tuned to 32 Hz. He liked it, and gave me the go ahead. The amplifier was the first to arrive, no pictures of it though because it was shipped to his house. Then we got the DCON, and I much say it's an impressive driver. I wouldn't consider it entry level at all! It is extremely well built, now time for the woofa porn My dog …

I'm going to be posting random pictures of my installation progress here, and keeping notes of what I have\still need. Excuse the brevity! What I have installed currently: Optima yellow top 4awg from the hood to the rear directed 1200/6 amplifier 2x orion p10d4 (old model subs\amp) stock speakers stock hu - using a line out converter What I have but not installed: mbquart pvi216 component set - most likely will be replaced later 1x sae-1200d 1x sax-125.2 What I still need to purchase: some pioneer HU with, steering wheel controls, onstar, dashkit another sae-1200d some good subs (4xsa-10s? not sure yet.) another battery HO alt (200amp+) 0awg wire, big 3 Ok so that's most …

Hi! I am rebuilding my whole system this summer. This build is going to be slow because I will be getting things as I get the money for them. My goals are: Loud, great sounding bass and mids/highs. Basically I want to have the ability to get loud when I want it, but I want it to sound good so when I'm just on my way to work the sound quality is still amazing. Trunk space doesn't really matter, but backseats do. I also want to upgrade my electrical system at some point. What kind of electrical engineer student would I be without a strong electrical lol. The plan so far is: AA Carbon Fiber Mids w/ Havoc ST010 tweeters (2 way active) 2 Xcon 15"'s or Death Penalty 15"'s Sund…

Have Everything Set Up For The New install just need a design for the box Im looking for A design for 2 15's Dual chamber roughly 10-11 Cubes with measurements Around These... Height - 20" Depth - 26 " Width - 49" the design im leaning toward is subs facing towards the back of the seat with port underneath each sub. 2 ports 1 for each chamber...

Sub stage to be addressed later after the front stage is done. Peerless 8" Midbass Oz Audio Matrix Elite 5.25" Vifa 1" Textile Dome…

So school is finally over, the weather is finally starting to turn around and everything is looking good for a new build! So to start things off here is the box I will be building the over all sizes are 30x36x17.5, this box is a master piece of shizzzon designs! (look him if you need help with a weird install in a small spot!) he cubics before displacement are like 7~ and after 6.5~ and tuning is 40hz (may change in the future) Now here is my old box and as we can see the mdf soaked up the water like a sponge lol! so needless to say i had a leak issue also if you are interested here is a link to my old build. Onto the bad parts in the trunk, also not shown the tail…

This is my new thread since there have been some changes. I found the width I needed to do a wall and that was my original want, so that's the route I decided to go. Have been planning this for a lil while now. Being busy with school and what not, it has been a long time coming. I finally started the other day though. Just a heads up: Being in college full time, with a ton of papers coming up soon, this will not be a fast build. Just gonna work on it when I can between class, gf, and other things until its done. What's going in: 4 DP21"s 4 SAZ-3000d's (new heat sinks) Maxx-Link 200+ ft. Tsunami Competition 1/0 (5+ 5- runs back) 9 Deka 9a31's (1 up…

EDIT - 2.2 cubes net tuned to 34hz with one 4" PVC pipes with rounded 90 degree angle turn. This will be right up behind the back seats of a 2000 mustang and will have a carpeted wall flush with the box. The baffle angle is 25 degrees. Powered by a AP15001D. More to come soon.

I just traded my stroker for a new yellowtop, so I figured it's time for me to make another install. I decided to make a 4th order cut through running one 15" opti1532d. My main reason for running lanzar is because everyone I know thinks it's trash. I guess "trash" comes with a 4 inch voicecoil and 19mm xmax. I would of cut through my rear deck, but I'm not really experienced enough to keep that setup mobile in case I needed my spare tire. I cut through my rear seat, I believe I lost output compared to the deck, but this eliminated any rattling on the interior and exterior. I've already metered her, the loudest frequency is 32 hz and she does a 140.8. on the dash and a …

I just bought a 95 Cadillac Eldorado. It has the factory amplified system in it, so I have to run all new wires, amp, speakers, etc. I'm still trying to decide what i'm going to run in it. So far I'm thinking an Alpine IXA-W404 for the head unit, PXA-H100 eq, a set of focal 165a1 components running active, a dsc480 or dsc4125 to run the front stage, my saz-1500d to run the sub stage and probably 1 15" ported through the back deck or one sealed 18". For electrical, it has a new Interstate 800 cca main battery, I'll put my kinetic HC1400 in the trunk, run 1/0 main power and do the big three in 1/0. Here are some pics, and feel free to comment on my planned system. Also I'm …

Did some figuring on a financial situation. And sold everything....Happy being Debt free now but not so happy to downgrade.

I've been checking out the forum for a week or so and have seen and read about some realyy cool stuff and I wanted to share some of what my son and I have been working on. This is a car that I purchased for he and I to spend some time together and express some of our passion for the audio and car world. What I plan to show is a somewhat complete project but includes our stereo install as well as the complete project. So here goes....

This is the optimal design for the X Con 18. My BTL 18 is going to be going into it. I got the design from the site here, thanks SSA! I've still got a lot of sanding to do. I did all of this last weekend. I'll be finishing it up this weekend. I've still got a lot of wiring to do. I've got a 270 amp Mechman alternator to put in. I've got 50 foot of 1/0, which I'm hoping will be enough. I think I'm going to use my starting battery I've got, a Napa 70 series or something, I'll have to look at the specs and post if anyones interested. I've got a big Wal-Mart brand battery with dual terminals I'm going to put in the back. I'll probably eventually get some better batteries once…

Well, i had subs up, port back in 2 different boxes, then walled and now got design done by robin for 4th order bandpass for 2 bl 18's. Took couple pics when building, will take some pics of all in truck tomorrow. Still got to put other front on, make trim panels and repaint inside of box. But i can do all that while its in the truck. I am using matt and fiberglass on all seams inside, has 1" rods inside, and adding all thread from side to side for extra bracing. Hopefully will be finished by tuesday. Still got lot left to do, but had to put in truck while i had the extra help to move it. So far, just from playing around a little it sounds alot louder, has a total di…

Ok, so for the people who know. I posted a buildlog a LONG time ago with the old T1's in the trailblazer on the AQ2200D.

Il get more shots and vids sometime and post em on here.

Box is for (2) 13W3v3 at 4.5 cubes after displacements @ 32hz. Building for my neighbor!! So check this, my neighbors buddy J had 3 w3's and blew 2 of them.. he didn't want to wait for the warranty, shipping back and fourth and what not, so he bought new ones and gave Mike (my neighbor) the blown ones for free, then mike sent them in for warranty and got new ones.. pretty legit, huh?
